ETHOS
Fun French for Kids sessions are designed to develop positive attitudes to language learning and other cultures, in a happy, relaxed atmosphere. The material and activities target different age groups and are designed to build confidence and self esteem. All sessions are structured and fun and aim to inspire youngsters about different languages and cultures.
Helen identified the need and suggested doing small group sessions with EAL and SEN pupils on a weekly basis. During the session Helen uses a multi-sensory approach with signs, symbols and props to progress spoken English language of the pupils. She differentiates her approach with pupils depending on their ability and confidence. The children look forward to the sessions and the school and parents value the extra support in this area.

Helen’s French sessions are lively and fun and the children look forward to them each week.... Children reach a good level of French by the time they leave the nursery and parents are astonished that they will often replace English with French when counting and identifying colours and animals e.g. papillon, chat etc. Our staff learn a lot too!"

Mrs Wilcock has worked within our setting for the past 3 years with our Year 2 class and I have personally had the privilege to have her work with my class in 4+ this year. Mrs Wilcock is always professional, punctual and well-resourced and planned. Her lessons with the children are engaging and imaginative, using a range of strategies and resources to engage the children. They show clear progression and consolidation within the subject of French and her use of praise to control behaviour is lovely. She has a lovely calm manner with the children and adapts her teaching to suit the needs of the group that she is teaching (usually around 15 pupils). Her knowledge of the French Language is fantastic and the children have gained a great deal from her weekly sessions this year.
